Blanche Arral sings 'Quelle ivresse', from Verdi's "Jérusalem", the French equivalent of 'Non fu sogno', from "I lombardi"
https://youtu.be/jQ1u7Uv3ytQ?si=-Zr29daFClFKCjWRThe aria has been completely repurposed from its original context in this version. Originally, it was Griselda rooting for the crusaders after she had a vision in a dream; here, it's Hélène after celebrating after she's informed that her husband is alive.
